All sessions will be delivered on artificial pitches.

As such, players should wear the appropriate footwear (boots for artificial/firm ground or turf trainers – no screw-in studs or running shoes).

Each player will receive a kit pack as part of their course enrolment, charged at £70. Kit sizes can be viewed here.

Each coaching session is delivered by UEFA qualified Manchester City coaches. 

All coaches are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service background checked), hold ‘First Aid in Football’ qualifications and hold the FA Safeguarding Children award (trained to promote best practice to protect young people). 

Players will be grouped by ability within age groups where possible to ensure maximum participation, positive learning opportunities and a fun experience for all.
